About Christian Horner
Christian Horner serves as the Team Principal of Red Bull Racing, having spearheaded the organisation since its inception in 2005. His journey in motorsport began behind the wheel, where he progressed through the competitive ranks of karting and Formula 2. Recognising a natural aptitude for the commercial and strategic side of the industry, he transitioned into management by establishing his own successful racing team, which secured two championship titles before he was handpicked to lead Red Bull’s entry into Formula 1.
Under his guidance, Red Bull Racing evolved from an ambitious newcomer into a dominant force in global motorsport. Following the acquisition of the Jaguar F1 team, Horner unified the workforce and navigated the immense pressures of high-stakes engineering and branding. This culminated in a historic period of success, including four consecutive double world championships between 2010 and 2013 with Sebastian Vettel, and a return to the pinnacle of the sport with Max Verstappen. His leadership has seen the team secure six Constructors' Championships, cementing their status as a benchmark for performance.
Horner is a specialist in marginal gains, risk management, and maintaining business competitiveness within a volatile environment. He is booked for his ability to translate the high-pressure world of Formula 1 into universal lessons on peak performance and strategic change management for corporate audiences.
On stage, Christian Horner is best known for talks on Branding & Marketing, Manufacturing & Engineering, Marginal Gains, Peak Performance, Change Management and Business Competitiveness. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
Their work resonates with leaders across Business & Consulting and Motorsport, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy.

Testimonials
"What really struck me was how relatable examples were. It wasn't just about racing; you could see the direct application to how we run our operations everyday. Very thought-provoking and well-structured."
"Brilliant talk; It was a really smart way of looking at how even the smallest changes can have a massive impact if you get the strategy right. Really enjoyed it."
"He had a fantastic way of making 'marginal gains' feel hugely relevant to our team, which isn't always easy. The focus wasn't just on the big wins but on the consistent, smaller improvements that accumulate."
